Murk Twain's Meisterschaft

Nxt Monday evening the Unity club will give, in the church parlora, a performance of Mark Twain's latest comedy, Meister scha ft. Those who read the Century will remember the appearance of this play iu the pages of that magazine not many raonths ago ; but for those who have not had this pleasure, a short account cf what it is, may be acceptable. Mark Twain hiraself says : " I regard the idea of this play as a valuable invention. J cali it the Patent, Univereally-Applicable, Automatically-Adjustable Language Drama. This iudicates that it is adjustable to any tongue. Suppose we wish to adjust it to the French tongue. First we give Mrs. Blumenthal and Gretchen French names. Next we knock the Germán Mei.terschaft sentences out of the first scène And replace them with sentences from .he French Meistersehaft, like this, for instance : ' Je voudrais faire des emplettM ce matin ; voulez-vous avoir l'obligeance de venir avec moi chez Ie tailleur frar;iis ?' And so on. It is very easy. Anybody can do it. And so you can keep on changing it from language to language, until your private theatrical pupila have becoi.e glib and at home in the speech of all nations" The Unity Club will perform this unique drama, in the original Anglo-German, with the following cast : Aunie Stephenson „ Miss Wilson. Margaret Stephenson Miss Gilbert. Mrs. Blumenthal -Miss Seymour. Gretchen Miss Jones. Geo. Franklin Mr. Pope. Wra. Jackson Mr. Whltman. Mr. Stephenson Mr. Babcock.
